We are in the process of conducting a research of full-field direct digital telemammography using three protocols: telediagnosis, teleconsultation, and telemanagement. To conduct this research project, an asynchronous transfer mode network based telemammography system was developed across two remote campuses in our facility. The hardware and software components of this system are detailed. The system was embedded in a clinical environment for a four-month test. Some preliminary study results from the current phase of this study are reported.
